Last week my son returned from a year-long deployment in sunny Afghanistan...so I guess it's time to change the avatar from this...  ...to the one shown on the left. It was a proud moment to see those happy soldiers step off the bus and their families there to great them  God bless all those who serve. |

Welcome him back and say thanks. And you keep an eye on him for awhile, make sure he's readjusting OK. Been there, done that.

Thanks to all. I have thanked him, and so have so many others, so many times, that it's just incredible. The support for our troops is just awesome. Something that really pissed me off though....during his absence, he "suspended" his auto insurance with ALFA. When he reactivated it last Friday, while he was standing there, still in uniform, they penalized him $130 for doing so...WHAT?? I tried to get him so tell them to F-off but he was so eager to get his wheels he agreed to the penalty. Also, his tag expired while he was away. The state rewarded him with a fine an interest since March when the tag was due...WHAT??? This is how some thank our troops. To say I was pissed is an understatement.  |

Don't let those two insults stand, start with your congressman & don't stop until he has a refund and an apology. This is simply unacceptable treatment of our military...

Go to your local vet service officer and have them contact the insurance company and the state license agency.

I agree, if you post some contact info, I say we all write them a letter. Give us some details, ie name, rank, dates of tour. We need to let them know this is unacceptable treatment of our Heros. |
